Butter Cookies..Granny’s Recipe Box

This is the third recipe I’ve tried from Granny’s Box. The second didn’t turn out so well and it also cost me quite a bit of butter, which should never happen to anyone. At first glance, the “Butter Cookie” recipe looks like one for cookies, but they are actually bars. These turned out well, but I am including a few “tweaks” for the next time I make them.

Ingredients:

2 sticks butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 egg, separated (we will use the white later)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp cinnamon (I LOVE cinnamon and 1/4 tsp was not enough)

1 tsp vanilla (not in the original recipe, but I can’t make a dessert without it)

1/2 tsp salt (original recipe only called for a pinch, this was not enough)
